We paid for a license to his Flash video player, and we never received a copy of his player without the distracting ad.
After several months of back and forths to try to get the player without the ad, Jeroen threatened to sue us because we were still using the unlicensed player. We were still using it because he refused to provide the licensed one we paid for. His scam isn't to make €49 each off of licenses. It's to make several thousand dollars with legal actions. He is a copyright troll.
Text from the license from when we paid:
